It was only a matter of time before the trolls came charging onto the scene.
The other day, Maren teased a couple topless photos from a recent shoot she did for Playboy Magazine. Naturally, she received a ton of positive feedback, including a steamy “get on me” from her husband Ryan Hurd, but of course, droves of “slut-shaming” trolls came flooding into the comment section.
Maren offered up some thoughts in an Instagram story saying:
“The thing about me is, I make music for myself. I learned later that it touches others, which is the most wonderful byproduct of a songwriter’s calling. Some can slut-shame me for my lyrics about sex, and you can put me in your little box, but I just want to live and love. I recently accepted myself and will put these photos in a frame because I’ll never have this moment back. Can’t wait for you to read my interview with Playboy in their ‘Gender + Sexuality’ issue next week. I drop some truth too.”
Sip on that haters.
Maren’s issue of Playboy comes out next week.
